Nightsky

**** the only thing I miss with my old smal hometown is the nightsky and the northern light.

In these **** big citys is impossible to get a good view of the stars with all the **** light polution.
I wish I could go out to some big, dark field and just lie there for a few hours.

does anyone else here find it very relaxing to just go out and observe the nightsky

Only if the northern lights are out. You must be at a high enough parallel to get Aurora Borealis in Sweden. Nothing like getting baked and watching nature's fireworks for hours. Too bad from where I live you need to drive stright north for about 12-16 hours to see it on a regular basis.

I am very big into astronomy/seti and i use to spend alot of my time in the fields here with several telescopes taking long exposure pictures with my 12in Schmidt-Cassegrain using a ccd to capture images and sometimes i would use an old canon ae1 wtih an adapter and use that also....

The only boring thing about northern light is that it ALWAYS tend to be green. **** it. I lived in a town that had it for 18 years and only ONCE in my life have I seen northern light that wanst green. It was red!! Looked **** freaky and amazingly beautifull.

anothern negative is that the period of the year when the northern light is most active also is the **** coldest period and its not so plesant to be outside when its -30 degres celcius(-22 farenheit) or below.
